Title: Optical resolution of alkyl 1,4-benzodioxan-2-carboxylates using esterase from serratia marcescens
Inventor: ROSSI RICHARD F
IPC: C12P17/06
Filed: 1996-06-07
Abstract: A process for resolving racemic alkyl 1,4-benzodioxan-2-carboxylates useful as intermediates in the synthesis of optically pure pharmaceutical compounds such as (S)-doxazosin is disclosed. The process utilizes a microbial enzyme derived from Serratia marcescens to catalyze the enantioselective hydrolysis of the alkyl (S)-1,4-benzodioxan-2-carboxylate enantiomer of the racemic mixture to its corresponding carboxylic acid at a faster rate than the R-enantiomer. An enantiomerically pure S-configured carboxylic acid is thereby formed for subsequent pharmaceutical synthesis. The nonhydrolyzed alkyl (R)-1,4-benzodioxan-2-carboxylate enantiomer can also be isolated and racemized, and the enzymatic hydrolysis reaction repeated.

The invention is characterised by a mechanical friction damping element with a wire basket (4) which acts as a friction or clamping element. Said wire basket (4) encompasses the first (2, 3; 3, 38) of the two moveable structural parts concentrically on a longitudinal section in such a way that it rests on the outer surface of said first structural part, with one axial end (first basket end 4a) fixed on the second structural part (9, 10; 39, 40; 25, 10) and the other axial end (second basket end 4b) positioned on said second structural part in such a way that it is axially slideable in a longitudinal direction. An elastic tension element (13; 41) acts upon said second basket end (4b) in an axial direction in such a way that the axial length of the wire basket (4) is stretched to a certain extent. At the same time, it presses essentially radially against the outer surface of the first structural part (2, 3; 3, 38) which it encompasses.
